Moving Wireless Tools etc to Core

LOL, for a while I thought I was seeing double. Oh, wait. I was!

Sure, but IMHO that wireless in SalixOS (and on almost every distro) should be just as pwatk described.Shador wrote:In fact I think I have no single desktop here with wireless and I can't think right now about anyone except you who has.
IMHO wireless is a waste for desktop PCs. Usually you have the possibilities to use wires and they are just so much faster, stable and responsive than wireless, especiall gigabit ethernet. <3
Agreed, but my main reason for doing so is because radiation, maybe I'm just paranoid.Shador wrote:Actually I connect my laptop by wire whenever possible even more since I got gigabit ethernet.
You sure did!pwatk wrote:Oh well, at least I managed to amuse

Maybe there is some not-GPLed firmware stuff around? I remember that some was available only as binaries.

Re: Moving Wireless Tools etc to Core
I only wanted to move the existing firmware packages plus wireless-tools and wpa_supplicant to core from full.
Why do you want non-GPL firmware e.g. b43, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't/couldn't be included on the disc or am I missing something here?

Re: Moving Wireless Tools etc to Core
I didn't think so.
I considered writing my slkbuild's for the b43 stuff as network install scripts but that seamed counter productive (chicken = egg = chicken) .

Anyway, now that the installation CD can be used as a repository, anyone that wants wireless packages can install them on "core" and "basic" installations without needing an internet connection in the first place.
